3.91 / 5 based on 108 reviews.
Description:
The University Paris X in its 35 years of existence has become one of France's very finest universities. Situated at only five minutes from the center of "la Défense", it is a multidisciplinary university. Nanterre proposes prestigious study courses in the fields of the humanities, the social sciences, law, economics, business administration, applied mathematics, and sport.

Founded as an annex to the Sorbonne, Nanterre has, since the opening of the first building in October 1964, achieved a considerable place in the French and European universitary landscape. Nanterre is best-known for being the source of the 1968 movement, but has also made itself recognized in the scientific and literary domains.
